Good Opinion Haver and that’s just about the only good thing about me
![He who saw the Deep, the country's foundation,
[who knew the proper ways,] was wise in all matters!
[Gilgamesh, who] saw the Deep, the country's foundation,
[who] knew the [proper ways, was] wise in all matters!
[He] explored everywhere the seats of [power,]
[he knew] of everything the sum of wisdom.
He saw what was secret, discovered what was hidden,
he brought back a tale of before the Deluge.
He came a far road, was weary, found peace, all his labours were [set] on a tablet of stone.
He built the rampart of Uruk-the-Sheepfold, of holy Eanna, the sacred storehouse.
See its wall like a strand of wool,
view its parapet that none could copy!
Take the stairway of a bygone era,
draw near to Eanna, seat of Ishtar the goddess, that no later king could ever copy!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wdsaekmnoy22itpbj66dmvvu/bafkreia7b2cwlcaxovayvqstoxv4fs2fzrbcjkx3l4rkokdp2jo5yxsux4)
